Whistling Straits

Don O

Wish I had pictures, but it was overcast with occassional showers when I played the Straits. No excuse on the sunny day at 100 degrees when I played the Irish during the USGA Women's Open down the road at Blackwolf Run. The facilities are great and both courses are chock full of challneges. Short of a 2000 mile trip to Bandon Dunes, this place is so not the midwest. Biggest difference - the mist is not salty.

Easy to see why Dustim missed he was in a sand trap. The fairways are easy to play, but the terrain degrades rapidly off the edges.

Kohler has the 4 courses and nearby is The Bull, and coming around Milwaukee is Erin Hills. That's 6 of the top 10 courses in Wisconsin all within an hour. ....If TT wanted a place for a long weekend in the Midwest. Nudge, nudge, Whistling Straits has Titleist rental clubs..
